My first plant...

It is Good Friday and I have the day off work so I decided that I would plant something. Our front porch needs a pretty pot and some flowers. So I called my mom to find out what I should plant and what kind of potting soil I would need. I then proceeded to head to Lowe's, who knew there would be so many choices. I chose geraniums, but i wasn't sure if I should get the hanging basket and plant it in a pot or if I should get the individual ones. That's when I called mom again to find out which would be best. I ended up getting the hanging basket. Then it was off to find the potting soil, all i saw were these HUGE bags of potting soil. I knew I didn't need that big of a bag, so here I go again I call my mom to ask her. I got everything I needed so I headed home to begin potting my plant. Keep in mind this is the first plant that I have EVER planted. I am not much of a yard worker, i just take care of the inside of the house, but I figured I should learn sometime. I have had plants before that my mom planted for me but they always end up dying b/c I would forget to water it...hehe. I called my mom once more to find out just how much soil to put in the pot and then proceeded to plant. I only had to call my mom one more time after that to ask her one more question but I think that I did a pretty good job for my first plant. Hopefully there will be many more to come. I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL Good Friday and a very Happy Easter!!
Here are a few pictures of my first plant:
